Where was Bozo the VP today?

Scroll down for updates…Guess who else schmoozed with Sharpton?

I’m sure you will be happy to know that your taxpayers supported Bozo the VP’s trip today to honor race demagogue Al Sharpton’s annual National Action Network conference with his presence.

Biden supporters defended the visit by arguing that it’s important to reach out to everyone. Including riot-inciting, police-bashing, lying frauds like Al Sharpton:

Vice President Joe Biden is traveling to New York Friday to address members of a national civil rights organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Biden, who will speak at the National Action Network’s 11th annual conference in Manhattan, is the first sitting vice president to attend the Harlem-based group’s yearly meeting. Former President Bill Clinton gave a speech to the conference in 2007.

President Barack Obama has chosen Biden to oversee the enactment of the $787-billion federal stimulus package Obama signed earlier this year.

Some political experts acknowledged the Obama administration doesn’t share the same politics on race as Sharpton, but said Obama realizes Sharpton appeals to some. It’s why Biden agreed to speak at the event, they said.

“It makes sense to reach out to whoever you can,” said Charlton McIlwain, a New York University professor of media culture and communication.

Here’s Sharpton’s NAN page. Bring your airsickness bag.

Oh crikey. Guess who else honored Sharpton with his presence?

Newt Gingrich.

He Tweeted it, too.

    Basically, we’ll reach out to those who happen to be on the left – “demagogues, riot-inciting, police-bashing, lying frauds” But not to anyone who has (R) after their name, or identifies themselves as a conservative. After all, why would we want to reach out to THEM!?!?!

    Does that mean he will meet with Rick Warren and James Dobson? Not likely.

    Biden never misses a chance to look stupid, fawning before the adoring fans of one of the biggest, lying, racist scumbags in the country. What’s next, tea with Charles Manson?

    Politicians, no matter their stripe, seem to all be unprincipled, pandering slobs. Sharpton is a complete jerk, self-aggrandizing in the extreme. The Democrat party is utterly hopeless, and the Republicans are not far behind.

    In my opinion, these are low and dark times for America.

    Sending Biden to address NAN was actually pretty smart, if it actually was Obama who sent him. Biden can make as many gaffs there as he is wont to do, and it’ll make no difference…I don’t think anyone there is smart enough to understand a misstatement. Plus, if he talks smack about “whitey” he’ll just get cheered, not jeered!

    In addition, if “Joey da Clown” puts his foot in his mouth, and says something that Republicans glam on to, it will distract attention away from Obama, and his de-sovereignation of America.

    What else are you going to to with hoof-in-mouth Joe. Just checked http://www.recovery.gov/ again. Dopey Joe is nowhere to be found, including the RAT board he’s supposedly overseeing. So far this week, Joe visited a fire station in NC and Al Sharpton’s demagogue party.

    Personally, I’m relieved. It’s like giving your kid a plastic hammer and telling him to go fix the porch. Makes him feel important, and he can’t damage anything.

    The Democrats MUST kowtow to the special interest groups because the Democrat Party is a coalition party of special interest and fringe groups. The sheer number of special interest groups and wackos is what gives them the power.

    That is one of the reasons the NRCC dumped Palin in favor of Gingrich last week. Gingrich is an all-purpose RINO. The GOP just can’t risk being associated with anyone who reflects heartland values. No one is better at standing for everything and defending all sides than Gingrich.

    Dear Lord. Say it ain’t so Newt! I have been beaten up by many conservatives for saying Newt is not such a bad guy. Every time he pulls one of these stupid stunts it gets harder and harder. His love seat romp with Nancy Pelosi was bad enough. For all his retoric about being a conservative, he still more beholden to the John McCain wing of the RINO part.

    Hey, Joe: I also “appeal to some.”

    You should come speak at my 2nd annual Memorial Day backyard BBQ. You’ve already taken enough of my tax dollars to fund the trip.

    Perhaps you can speak to my guests about how you’re stealing their money to pay for pork, stealing their children’s money to pay for pork and rewarding deadbeats with lowered mortgages. All of us in attendance will most likely either have someone currently in our families serving or have had someone in our ancestry who has fought and sacrificed on the frontlines for this nation. Perhaps you, Mr. Biden, can tell them how it’s patriotic to have your income forcibly removed and “spread around” to someone who isn’t interested in working as hard as they do.

    You’re welcome to join us because, after all, in the words of your boss, I “appeal to some” and I realize that’s all the criteria I need to meet. Right?
